Christian athletes are people with specific and distinctive moral guidelines in everyday life as well as in competitive sports. No matter if they are competing in triathlon, athletics, or playing soccer, or if they are playing in the lowest or highest division of their sport, that is what we expect. They therefore stand in contrast to some athletes of today's competitive sports who do not seem to have any guideline at all anymore, who would not shy at anything to win a competition and who therefore give competitive sports a rather negative touch. But is that really the case? Do Christian athletes fulfill this expectation? What moral values and believes do Christian athletes have in everyday life and in competitive sports? Do these values differ from each other? Do Christian athletes really live up to these values? What moral limits do they have? How do they react when being faced with unmoral situation in competitive sports? What tools do they have to participate in today ¿s competitive sports? In this study some light will be shed on the world of Christian athletes. Their moral beliefs and values will be explored, interpreted and analyzed.
